How do you make a debt ceiling compromise based on total, fraudulent numbers and lies? First you get the liars out of the House, Senate and White House, then start telling the truth about our REAL debt and budget needs. I am exploring a Presidential run as a conservative Independent, nothing special, just a woman who has ideas and cares about her country. You can see all my ideas in my book out by the end of July, ‘The People’s President’ Look for it first in www.amazon.com then your local book stores......http://www.newswithviews.com/Roth/laurie276.htm

Disaster management: Be Prepared and ArmedI’m noticing a great many articles appearing which encourage citizen preparedness for widespread emergency. Many of these seminars are well-intentioned, but they are lacking several vital ingredients. Many of these are Physician-led lectures, and they lack the same vital ingredients. The main thrust of any dependable household preparedness plan will arise from acceptance of the fact that assets will not reach them for days to weeks. Most programs do not mention citizen authority to act in the absence of.....http://www.newswithviews.com/Longenecker/john117.htmby John Longenecker

Who Benefits From All The Obama Spending Sprees? Austin Hill *“Did you hear about the new ‘Obama Happy Meal Deal?’” a friend posted on Facebook earlier this week.“You order whatever you want and as much as you want, and the person in line behind you has to pay for it….LOL!”Americans have always enjoyed poking fun at their Presidents, and cheap jokes that illicit more groans than laughs aren’t to be taken too seriously. But, as is often the case with humor, there was a slight bit of truth entailed in this little online anecdote.

It's interesting how perspectives can change when it's your turn to drive the bus!

“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America ’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government can not pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America ’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that ‘the buck stops here.' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.”

The GOP had better clean up its act on these issues. America has been blindsided by the betrayal of American law and the Constitution by members of our own party who have been seduced by the big money, the dirty money of Muslim Brotherhood-tied operatives like Grover Norquist. Up until recently they could get away with this, because America was clueless or not paying attention. No longer. We expect this kind of sellout, subversion and destruction from the left; we will not tolerate it in the pro-American, pro-freedom GOP. It's over, boys.

The Virginia Anti-Shariah Task Force (VAST) chairman and SIOA board member James Lafferty writes of a critical race in the House of Delegates in Virginia:

Dear Conservatives,President Barack Obama's appointees at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) have declared open season on Right to Work states, independent workers, and job providers like the Boeing Company.It's absolutely vital we don't let them get away with it.

The really big news here (see link) is that CEOs are scared to speak out about Obama.

We all need to consider that he is a full-fledged dictator at heart who would punish us mercilessly for being who we are and not hating the American way of life and the free market, which he has almost completely killed.

I say that not to intimidate people into not speaking out. In fact, I say it to separate the sheep from the goats.

Anyone who is afraid to speak may as well lay his or her head on the chopping block now.

He who feeds the alligator gets eaten last.

But he DOES get eaten.

It won't help and can only hurt to keep quiet now! Talk while you can and as loud as you can. Your life could depend on it, and your way of life DOES.

WORLD: Norway ripped by Oslo bomb, youth camp shootingsOSLO, Norway — A bomb ripped open buildings in the heart of Norway’s government Friday, and a man dressed as a police officer opened fire at an island youth camp connected to the ruling party. At least seven people were killed in the blast and nine more in the camp shootings, the peaceful nation’s worst violence since World War II. Oslo police said 9 or 10 people were killed at the camp on Utoya island, where the youth wing of the Labor Party was holding a summer camp for hundreds of youths. Acting Police Chief Sveinung Sponheim says a man was arrested in the shooting, and the suspect had been observed in Oslo before the explosion there.

Excerpt: Whether in the fights over the U.S. debt limit or the rioting in Athens, the common global theme is not poverty in absolute terms, but more often fairness — as in having about the same amount of things as others do. Here in America, the months-long impasse over the national-debt ceiling continues. President Bush borrowed nearly $5 trillion in eight years. But President Obama easily trumped even that staggering figure with his plan to borrow over $6 trillion in his first four years in office. The architects of his economic policy — Austan Goolsbee, Peter Orszag, Christina Romer, and Larry Summers — have all resigned, and are now either back in tenured academia, making lots of money in the much-criticized revolving door, or writing op-eds about why the president’s plan isn’t working — or all three. … Here in the United States, the 5 percent of the population that pays nearly 60 percent of all the income taxes collected is excoriated as selfish and greedy for not being willing to pay even more. The 50 percent of the population that pays no income tax at all feels that it deserves even more from those who make more. (There is a Russian joke about two famers, Boris and Ivan who are friends. There are pretty much of the same status, but Ivan is a bit more prosperous, as he owns a cow and a goat, while Boris only owns a cow. One day a genie appears to Boris and offers to grant him one wish, anything he desires. Boris thinks a bit, then says, “Kill Ivan’s goat.” That is the kind of class warfare Democrats gin up votes on. 30% of our “poor” own two or more cars. Many have AC, color TVs and other luxuries unheard of in the middle class in 1960. They have to pump up envy of others to keep them voting Democrat. ~Bob.)

We know Dick Lamm as the former Governor of Colorado. In that
context his thoughts are particularly poignant. Last week there was immigration overpopulation conference in Washington , DC , filled to capacity by many of America 's finest minds and leaders. A
brilliant college professor by the name of Victor Davis Hansen
talked about his latest book, "Mexifornia," explaining how
immigration - both legal and illegal was destroying the entire state
of California .. He said it would march across the country until it
destroyed all vestiges of The American Dream.

Conservatives,We are sending your modern-day Declaration of Independenceto "King" Obama next Thursday. Please help me rally tensof thousands more co-signers by forwarding the message belowto your friends. This campaign has gained great support andwill have a very strong impact, but we need more signersto make it even more effective! Thanks for helping - Mat.

The column below (highlights added) by Andrew Bostom zeroes in on one aspect of the threat of sharia to the West: Islamic polygamy. An NPR article in 2008 cited sources estimating that as many as 100,000 Muslims live in polygamous families in the U.S.

Note that the Assembly of Muslim Jurists of America has issued fatwas sanctioning polygamy, in keeping with sharia law. One ruling declares American law prohibiting polygamy “against Islamic law.”

Obama went on TV saying, "We have put forth a plan to resolve the national debt crisis."

Neither he nor the Party of the Left have put up any plan whatever. NONE!

How Obama gets away with these types of lies at such a critical juncture in time is dumbfounding!

GET RID OF THIS IDIOT!

Boehner's reply was very telling. He not only reaffirmed that fact that, despite what Obama asserted, there was no "plan set forth by Democrats," but when questioned about the 'trust' Boehner's answer was very telling. "I trusted President Obama." The word 'trusted' signifies past tense!

Just as others have said, "I'd sooner play Frisbee with a cow patty that negotiate with Obama."

Dear Patriot,This morning, Harry Reid used a procedural move to sabotagethe Senate cloture vote on "Cut, Cap and Balance." Technicallyit was a "vote on the motion to table the motion to proceed"to the bill. In doing so, Reid call the bill "radical" and said it was "one of the worst pieces of legislation to ever be placed on the floor of the United States Senate."

The economy is in advanced stages of decrepitude due to debt: public and private. Nevertheless, a just-released ABC News/Washington Post poll revealed that 58 percent of self-identified Republicans believe that if their government doesn't continue to borrow apace, things will get worse.

In legislative language, our wily political pitch men have been granted license to lift the debt ceiling! Quick-fix quacks in both chambers can now proceed to borrow by further inflating the country's fiat money supply.

Remember last week, when President Obama threw a fit and stormed out of budget negotiations with the House Republican leadership? Do you recall what made him blow a fuse? It was when House Majority Leader Eric Cantor suggested a short-term deal to raise the debt limit a bit, because Democrats and Republicans could use more time to settle their differences.

Personally, I'm more than a little tired of short-term deals. We’ve had over 800 days of punting. I thought the federal government was supposed to be a $3.7 trillion high-performance engine of central planning and economic wisdom. That’s the reason given for allowing it to take over car companies, bail out banks, and seize control of health insurance. I don't know how liberals can make such arguments with a straight face, when the Leviathan has been thrashing around for over two years without a budget.

Fellow Patriot,Meaningless deportations continue as Campaigner-in-Chief Barack Obama pushes his “backdoor” amnesty re-election agenda – but we’re not waiting another second to start securing the U.S.-Mexico border, and neither should you.

So, what do we mean by “meaningless”?

Illegal immigrants not granted asylum by Obama’s June 2011 memo to Immigration and Customs Enforcement just sneak right back across the wide-open border to continue sucking our country’s resources dry when detained and deported.

Article II section 1 of the U.S. Constitution ends with this sentence:

“Before he [the President] enters on the execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation: ‘I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.’”

Members of Congress take a similar oath of office.

The complaint filed in Liberty Legal Foundation’s lawsuit against Obamacare accuses President Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid of violating their oaths of office. Rather than answer this accusation, they claimed immunity. Their motion to dismiss states:

Senate rejects 'Cut, Cap, Balance'

The Democratic-controlled Senate on Friday narrowly voted to block a Republican measure that would force Congress to pass a stringent balanced budget amendment and cap spending before increasing the debt ceiling.

The legislation, a conservative priority, never had a chance of passing, but the strictly partisan 51-46 vote to table the “Cut, Cap and Balance” bill highlighted the partisan divide in Washington over how to tackle spending and raise the nation’s $14.3 trillion debt limit. Before the vote Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) again called the plan “radical” and “one of the worst pieces of legislation to ever be placed on the floor of the United States Senate.”

The vote handed conservatives a chance to showcase their strategy for restricting future spending in Washington, but it faced a veto from President Barack Obama, so it was more of a symbolic vote for Republicans to put their mark on deficit reduction.

Lee ADDS: Harry Reid denied any debate of this issue on the Senate floor while deriding the efforts of House politicians. His leadership is just like Tom Dashle's...DO NOTHING, ALLOW NOTHING OF IMPORTANCE AND, LIE LIKE HELL!
